I was not sure where to post this question so I apologize if this is the wrong place. I have searched extensively for the past couple of days and found no clear answer. What is the simplest way to unzip a file on the server hosting my domains? I have posted in my hosting companies forum with no replies. I have read about a program called putty but have not tried it yet. It takes too long to download the zip, unzip it to my HD, then upload it to my server as individual files. I have been using CVS to update with no problems, but occasionally I need a complete update from a nightly snapshot. Thanks and sorry again for such a newb question. |

It depends on a lot of things really.
If your host provides ssh or telnet access, you can use "putty" to connect (or any other telnet / ssh program). From there you can unzip or untar the files like you would in any linux / unix environment.
You might also be able to find a simple php script that does the job, but I don't know about that

My host is Dixiesys and I am using Direct Admin to manage my domains. It does offer SSH but I have not played around with it.

Its impossible for me to know for sure, but if your host provides ssh access and has the cvs utilities available to use... updating your G2 could become as simple as going into the directory (cd /gallery2/) and issuing the command "cvs -z3 update -Pd" any time you want to update.
None of that downloading a nightly build and unpacking it
